[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6799440, member: 8461"] I don't believe that to be the case; you've posited that the author feels that such material "has" to be there, that it's a necessary work-around, and I don't grant that particular premise. Again, that's a presumption, and not one that I think is necessarily the case. I've seen larger works of original material than that given away for free before, so I don't believe that "there's little doubt" is so. Once again, you're presuming this to be self-evident when it's actually anything but. It could very well be considered bonus material in that the author recognizes that you're going to have the PHB on-hand if you're using this material, but has provided an OGL equivalent purely to reduce page-flipping. The author does not feel that he "needs" it there, nor does he find it to add no actual value. That only reduces the value of the book [I]to you[/I], and beyond your personal opinion there's no particular substance to that objection, since you can't establish that that material has driven up the cost of the book, nor that other people don't want said material. Hence, you don't have any particular point upon which you can say that the value of the book has been reduced in any capacity beyond whether or not you yourself would want to buy it. Others will find that their mileage varies. Insofar as being more convenient if that material were in the SRD in the first place, that's the problem that these hypothetical new additions fix.
